Franchise FastLane Brand Spotlight: Five Star Bath Solutions

At Franchise FastLane, we know a good thing when we see one. It’s one of the reasons we like to say that the brands we choose to work with have a strong potential to be the “Next Big Thing” in the world of franchise opportunities. To make the cut in joining our portfolio, it takes a well-defined value proposition, enough key differentiators to separate from the competition, and average unit economics that demonstrate a high propensity for success.

In this month’s Franchise FastLane Brand Spotlight, we’re highlighting a brand that brings a five star experience to customers but not for the five star price! Read more to learn about the Five Star Bath Solutions franchise.

Value Proposition & Key Differentiators 

Five Star Bath Solutions is the most trusted bath remodeling franchisor in the industry, boasting an amazing 59% closing rate for new projects. The brand was founded in Canada in 1996, then expanded into the U.S. market as a franchise opportunity in 2008. Now up to more than 110 locations in North America, Five Star Bath Solutions earned the No. 314 spot on this year’s Franchise 500 list from Entrepreneur – the franchisor’s sixth consecutive appearance in this prestigious rankings. The brand promises beautiful, yet affordable, bath transformations in an industry leading 1-2 day project completion rate. How are they different from other remodeling options? Proprietary product lines that lend themselves to rapid installation, minimal inventory and equipment, as few as two to three employees, and an in-house call center. Acquired by Five Star Franchising, Five Star Bath Solutions has access to technology-driven lead-tracking software that makes estimating and generating customer quotes a snap. According to the franchisor’s latest Item 19 data, average franchisee sales are *$1.2 million, based on an average project ticket of *$12,538. 

What Franchise FastLane Has to Say… 

Franchise FastLane’s Ryan Logan serves as the Director of Franchise Development for Five Star Bath Solutions. What does he think about the brand’s value proposition and future growth? “Thanks to the brand’s position in the marketplace today, we’re very optimistic about Five Star Bath Solution’s prospects for further growth and expansion. As a brand, they’re very invested in the success of the franchisees in their system. Five Star Bath Solutions is big on stating that their franchise owners aren’t just investing in a new job for themselves, but rather a whole new lifestyle. There’s just so much to like about their business model – – Five Star drives all the lead and appointment setting, little to no infrastructure purchases needed, and they focus on running an optimal business with a small employee footprint and quick to scale model. From the speed in delivering estimates and closing new remodeling projects, the brand’s proprietary software platform makes it all possible. We believe Five Star Bath Solutions is well on its way to redefining the bath remodeling industry as we know it and Franchise FastLane is proud to be working alongside them in this journey.”

Hear from a Successful Five Star Bath Solutions Franchise Owner 

Charlie Rodosky is a successful Five Star Bath Solutions franchise owner who’s territory covers the western section of the Denver metro area. Prior to owning the business, he graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara and enjoyed a career in corporate sales for a large outdoor supply company. He then tested the entrepreneurial waters himself, as the owner and operator of a luxury RV rental and sales outfit, which he ran for three years. Here’s what he had to say about going into business with the Five Star Bath Solutions brand. “I believe you get out what you put into this business. You’re given a product and a formula that can succeed in even the most competitive markets. Of course, it will take some work and time, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel from day one.” He’s coming up on his first anniversary as a franchisee in the Five Star Bath Solutions system and reflects on his journey so far, stating “We’re about nine months in and off to a great start. Looking back, the first few months were a bit nerve-racking and filled with ups and downs, but now that the dust has settled, we’re having fun and already beginning to find some great success.” As for the future, Rodosky is quite optimistic about his entrepreneurial fortunes. “We have ambitious goals here in Denver for Five Star Bath Solutions. I don’t plan on going anywhere until we solidify our position as the top bathroom remodeler in the area.” 

We are fortunate to work with over two dozen franchisors in our portfolio, each with the potential for explosive – yet responsible – growth. Like Five Star Bath Solutions, many operate squarely in the booming home improvement industry – a business category that took off during the pandemic and shows no sign of slowing down. We’re proud to put our stamp of approval on the Five Star Bath Solutions franchise opportunity. We’ve staked our reputation as the industry’s No. 1 franchise sales organization by making bold brand choices. Five Star Bath Solutions is empirical proof that it’s working.
